Whole brain teaching is a method of teaching which encourages
students to use their whole brain in learning. It is the ideal setting for students who are active and love to move around. On a typical day when you walk into my classroom, you might think it looks a little different from what you are used to. Students don't sit in their seats for long before I ask them to jump up and use their hand gestures and expressive voices to teach what they just learned to their neighbor. Science proves that students learn better and create amazingly active neural pathways when they learn in this manner. In my experience, students who learn this way have increased test scores with decreased behavioral issues. A short video found below will demonstrate more of what WBT looks like. As you will see, the students in the video are engaged, encouraging, attentive, and most of all they are learning. You may also notice some strange words (zoop=comma, ert=period, ee-ee=parentheses). These vocalizations demonstrate that these kiddos are on pace to be great writers as well. I encourage you to look up Whole Brain Teaching videos for more wonderful demonstrations.
